Well, each time I played that game with my KR2, I got more the impression
to fall like a brick! Maybe the high density altitude changed the picture
somehow. I should have measured.
Anyway, from your figures, that would give us a glide ratio of about 1.
Not bad indeed.

My testing notes would indicate that my KR, 760 pounds empty,
stock KR wing with 8 inches total less span, at 70 -75 mph,
engine at idle, decending from 3500 feet to 3000 feet took about
54 to 56 seconds. That comes out to about 550 fpm . At 70 mph
in smooth air with the engine at idle it feels like you're floating !!
I was impressed for a 20 foot wing.
